Jitterbuggin-Give Thanks

WOW look at the sketch that Sherri over at Jitterbuggin has for us to follow this week. Isn't it cute?! This week the theme is Let's Give Thanks. All you have to do is follow the sketch, add something Cricut and emboss something. Easy!!! I used Indie Art cartridge for my butterflies. I used my Gypsy and laid out everything. I hid the cutouts on the wing part of the whole butterfly for the bases. Then I cut the regular cut in the cream so I would have the body part and the base color would show through. Then I cut the wings in my third color twice so I could glue one set down and have a set that I just glued the inner edge down and bent the wing up to give it dimension. The cutouts on the base wings I filled with glossy accents, added pearls to the tips of the antennas and then I used Diamond Stickles on the body. The card base is a one sided cardstock that I just love the blue color for this card. The back is white so it worked just fine for the inside of my card. The pattern paper is Cosmo Cricket-DeLovely Mini Deck. I used these embossing folders: Polka Dots on the blue strip, D'Vine Swirl on the cream one (then rubbed with ink) and Swiss Dots on the pink one. The sentiment is a My Pink Stamper stamp from the Simply Sweet Occasions set. Stamped it, cut out around it and put a pearl on each end. Hop on over and play along with the challenge! Hope ya'll like my card!!! :)
